Default Mulcher Lawnmower: Bag does not catch Grass?

I have a sears 6 hp lawnmower, for some reason when I cut the grass
the bag is empty of any grass. Other times it does fill up. I
admit I do often cut on a high setting, but it is still cutting off
plenty of grass, so I would expect to still see grass in my bag. Any
ideas? thanks.


If it is mulching then it is not suppose to catch the grass. It
cuts the grass up and puts it back on the lawn so it naturally decays
and feeds the grass and improves the soil.


If my mulcher is not suppose to catch grass then why is it equiped
with a bag mounted on the back. And it does catch grass sometimes, I
have not tested it yet, but I suspect when I cut lower I get some
grass in the bag. I just sharpened the blade today, so we will see
if that helps.
